V12V & Stoneguards

[mikey k]

Any one got any stone guards on their V12 vantage sills?
Are they available?
I've been told by the dealer the standard V8 ones don't fit the V12 sills

No. I was told the same. Gaydon confirmed that there are no mudguards for the V12V.

Never seen any chipping on the top-side. Cant speak for the underside. Perhaps the V12V sill design is less prone to chipping?

This may or may not be of help, but 3m do a transparent film that protects silks and arches. Used some of this on a Westfield I used to own.

Had mine done in VentureFilm. Seems to have helped..also protects them from scuffs when getting in and out.

The companies that 'wrap' cars should be able to do this no problem at all. You can have them custom make the exact parts you need protecting, even better

I tried to get front guards for mine and they don't do an official fitment for V12V, although the dealership did say they could be "modified to fit."

I was told by the dealer the "top" side is less prone than the N400 or std sill.
I already planned a full Venture shield PPF kit which includes the "top" of the sill. Worked wonders on my last car.
It does cover the front edge of the sill in the wheel arch, which gets a good grit blasting on the roads I like
Taking the paint off to reveal the fibrelass (sorry composite)

I have had the stoneguards modified to fit mine and I am pleased that I did. The dealer fitted them before I took delivery of the new car. I have no marks on my sills at all in 21 months of ownership and 13000 miles. I can't say the same for the front of the car unfortunately where the soft paint is prone to marking.

They look good. Do you know if they are V8V ones just modified? I would think a hot air gun and a sharp knife would be all that was needed to modify. Did that years ago and fitted P205 gti 1.6 flaps to a 1.9 gti when dealer said it couldnt be done

Excellent work! I'll get a set ordered!

I don't remember (although I could call Broughtons if anyone is interested). They cost, modified and fitted, £127. Sounds like a lot for two pieces of rubber but I didn't know anything came that cheaply from AM !
